Marla James is a courageous woman, an activist for patients in her area, by being a patient and by every account I have seen her under, a genuine gentle, caring person who deserves respect not disdain.

In the fallout from a secret trade deal brought about by the Weedmaps founder, several marijuana culture entertainers, and that city’s city council, a deal that truncated ‘little man’ availability into the lucrative growing medical marijuana industry by giving access to a selected few from a supposed equal opportunity raffle, the following video shows the effect of such collusion as police descend on a dispensary in that city with guns drawn [as usual] against defenseless legal medical marijuana patients as if it were a mob drug bust.

The video from a hidden security camera of a raid on an ‘illegal’ marijuana dispensary shows officers joking about kicking a woman with a disability and seems to have captured them eating marijuana-infused foods. Edited footage of the May 27 raid on the Sky High Holistic dispensary, posted online by Voice of OC, shows officers bust down the door and order everyone to the ground at gunpoint.

Marijuana activist Marla James, an amputee who uses a wheelchair, told OC Weekly that she was tipped off to the raid and was there to observe. She’s seen in the clip riding alongside a female officer and then leaving the room.

Once the room is clear, the cops appear to joke about her.

“Did you punch that one-legged old Benita?” one police officer says.

“I was about to kick her in her fucking nub,” a female officer replies to laughter.

“You know what, I was really nice to that woman,” James told OC Weekly. “I even complimented her on her hair. I treated that woman with respect and I have no idea why she wanted to kick my stump.”

James told CBS Los Angeles that the comments were upsetting.

“When I saw the video it almost made me cry,” she said. “She doesn’t know what it’s like to not have a leg. I still have phantom pains.”

The edited video shows police officers, some in ski masks, dismantling the surveillance equipment. Officers also play darts, and at least two appear to eat something.

It’s not clear what they were eating, but one of the cops appears to be studying the wrapper carefully. The attorney who gave the video to Voice of OC said he thought they could be eating the edible marijuana from the shop’s inventory.

“I believe they are consuming edibles and the behavior exhibited gives every indication that’s what they’d be doing,” Matthew Pappas told Voice of OC.
